Wasn't he meant to pay a fine or go to jail? Obviously wasn't enough of a deterrent for this guy.

The other option is to print off a photo of his house from Google Street view then take a polaroid photo of it and send it to him with "Scamming bastard - I'm going to burn this shithole down" written on it.

 

That way it looks like you've actually gone to his front door and he'll shit himself.

 

Or not.?

See a lot of things like this in the vape community, might be an idea to make a pinned post of known scammers so buyers can give it a once over before sending any goods or cash down the drain

out of curiosity, does contacting the police etc. get any where with situations like this?

 

or is it just a slap on the wrist  / forgotten about so relies on the Airsoft community to keep it active

From experience in the vape industry the police don't really seem to do much even when it's been proven one particular character has had at least a few grands worth of gear from various sources so it's up to the community to keep a look out I'm afraid

Moral of the story: don’t deal with pikeys and if you do, don’t expect the police to do shit.

Shamefully (as an ex civvy copper) I can relate to the Police attitude.  Ultimately, the police very often view this kind of fraud as coming under 'caveat emptor' and therefore a civil matter.  Now, unless you have lots of documentary evidence you arent going to get very far with a theft claim.

Copy everything you have, pms, emails etc, & contact the nips (northern Ireland police service), explain the situation & that since sending your rif you've been made aware that Glennie has a fairly recent conviction for similar offences, the most likely charges being obtaining goods by deception, & that he's at it again.

They may be interested, as its likely he has conditions set against him, should he reoffend within a set time frame.

Also, there is a uk cybercrime police unit (sorry dont have the link), as I'm sure your involvement with him is net based, & therefore meets criteria for their involvement, again because of his previous its likely they'll be keen to investigate.

Good luck mate.

We did , and still zero fucks given by the police , BUT as I said they soon showed interest when my oppo said he’d sort it him self . Positive glee in the plods eyes as he warned him if it did turn nasty he’d get him self arrested ! ?
